The educational mission of the Psychology Department is threefold: To train psychologists with a mastery of the theories and approaches that are prevalent in the area of scientific psychology, as well as their practical applications; who can apply methods of scientific research creatively and productively; and who assimilate the principles of professional ethics. Our undergraduate curriculum takes 4 years and consists of courses on general areas of psychology such as research methods, statistics, and history of psychology; courses in related social sciences, such as philosophy and sociology; courses in specific fields of psychology, such as social, developmental, and clinical psychology; and upper-level courses on specific topics in different fields of psychology. The undergraduate program does not offer specialization in any area of psychology, rather it is aimed at providing a general foundation in psychology.
